are you long or short? It looks like a short 9, 10 formation. I am a believer that the Dax has built in all the price and maximum upside is today open gap closure at 10922 after which it will close the gap from 22nd Jan before shooting up in middle march when draghi starts his QE europe.

If it works a quick 10% otherwise you have to wait until next quarter! Good company huge market low PE!Looking back at over 9 quarters the stock has since q2, 13 shot through the roof and this is afterhours and next day trading. Afterwhich it has fallen.Q2,13- 21.2% Q3,13-10.59%q4,13-5.54%q1, 14-7.52%q2, 14- 11.84%q3,14-8.71%q4 is a huge expectation after a blow out quarter Q2, 14. The stock has fallen since Q3,14 16.42% and is currently found a bottom. In the last two days the stock has risen 4.4%. It appears that the stock is posed to blow upwards towards resistance at 236.17 USD.If history is any indicator then expect Bidu to trade up into earnings discounting the meetings with European finance ministers and Greece and meeting with Russian Putin in Minsk to discuss peace in Ukraine and beat its earnings and revenue targets.

Look at Gild it tanked. Interesting fact, I know that these two companies are in different segments/sectors but just to draw a parallel.

I bought Gild yesterday pre open and Disney pre open.Both beat by 20 somecents the EPS expectation and 500 million something the revenue expectation.After hours both stocks were exactly poles apart at 4.85%.

Awesome article! I agree with what you say but am thinking of buying today for the a ride of 17% to 275 USD if the earnings number is 0.60 cents and the revenue number is 656 million USD. That is a 8 cent or 13% earnings beat and 39.4 Million USD revenue beat or 6%.

Lnkd has beaten earnings and revenues estimates in all quarters since Q3, 2012. That is 10 quarters.

Doing a chart analysis. http://bit.ly/1LPKKO0Looking back at LNKD from Q3 12, the market was a bull market and LNKD beat earnings and revenue estimates until Q2, 2013. It hit its high of 257 USD. After Q3, 2013 until Q1, 2014 the stock was trending down and even if the stock beat earnings and revenues in these quarters it fell.Starting Q2,14 the upwards trend began and the stock has just kept going up and away.

So upward trend is intact so there is a buy tendency.

Looking at financials thats where one sees this is a total rigged game! The earnings and revenues expectations vs actuals when mapped go all over the place. This companys chart and fundamentals have nothing in common.

If you plotted the expected earnings vs actuals and the expected revenues vs actuals you find nice upward trending lines.

But more important if you try to plot the Delta between the expected earnings growth and expected revenue growth it would appear that this company has given its analysts the cake and they have simply put the numbers in for the company to beat.

Wow, Looking back in History Q2, 2013, look at chart the stock moved in a bull market 4.8%, then fell 9.97% after Q3, 2013. Then rose 15.74% leading into Q4,2013.Q4, 2013, the stock was sidewards trending and then moved 14.29%, then fell 9.09% leading into Q1, 2014.Q1, 2014 earnings beat 1.04 vs 0.91 and revenue beat 12.31 vs 12.23 the stock rose 19.11% with a break away gap. THIS LOOKS LIKE NOW! After which the stock traded sidewards leading into Q2, 2014.Q2, 2014 the rose 3.63% then fell after which rose 10.71% leading into Q3, 2014.Q3, 2014 the stock fell then rose 6.99% after which fell 13.95%. This was the first breakout of the upward trend channel that started after Q3, 2013 or on 10th September, 2013. The stock rose 16.72% into Q4, 2014 and then fell 3.81% after which rose 6.5%.

Leading into Q1, 2015 the stock had fallen 5.48% and if history is any guide I expect the stock to correct around 105.77 USD or 15%. Obviously the gap is open and if this is a breakaway gap then the stock can go all the way to 105.77 and then fall towards 99.39 or 94.12 to close the gap.

With all the political uncertainty I am guessing that profit will be taken but then that is an educated guess. Guess none the less.

96 USD when the gap is closed, this could be a break away gap like in Q1, 2014 then it is gone baby gone. Otherwise, you could buy the starting of the gap at 99.39 USD either way the stock is a buy. I bought on 3rd Feb and am selling because I think the market is really really overheated.

10% in hand is better than nothing. If the gap closes then I REBUY at the above mentioned prices.
